WinUAE should have.....

This is something I think WinUAE should have had ever since day 1 of hard disk support

A hard disk light!

How many times have I wondered if my hard disk was being accessed (Amiga files are tiny so you can't see your hard disk light flashing). This is an essential..I have no idea why this hasn't been added yet. We've already got 4 disk drive lights, how hard can it be for a hard disk light.

Cmon WinUAE team. Help me out here!

CD32 support - would make a lot of people happy (specially me)!

[RetroMan]

YES ! We deserve a HD light How about maybe a power light, which also begins to flicker, when getting a Guru ????

There already is a power light, and it already flashes when you guru.

Of course, I always run my emulation in Windowed mode, so I have no idea if this power light is present in full screen

There is ???? damn ..... /me slaps myself *WHAP* :kill

Here's some of my configurations:

AIAB (of course!)

A500 (68000 0.5 chip, no fast, no slow, OCS, kickstart 1.3, 640x480 full screen with scanlines, slow but more compatible, approssimate A500 speed, full sound)

OCS 1.3 800 (68000 1 chip, 0.5 slow, OCS, kickstart 1.3, 800x600 full screen with scanlines centered horizontal, CPU/chipset = 4)

A600 (...)

A1200 (... )



I also use some configurations for particular games like...

...First Samurai (68000 0.5 chip, 0.5 slow, OCS, kickstart 1.3, 640x480 fulll screen with scanlines, CPU/chipset = 7, full sound, no autoconfig)

and so on... now, I'd like to see a way to organize the configuration in a "tree" like explorer do... something like this:

Configs
|
-------Real
| |------------> A500
| |------------> A600
| |------------> A1200
| |- - - - - - -
| |- - - - - - -
| |------------> A4000
|
|------AIAB
| |-------------> with sound
| |-------------> without sound
| |- - - - - - -
|
|------Games
| |-------------> game name 1
| |-------------> game name 2
| |- - - - - - - -
| |- - - - - - - -

Am I a dreamer?

The power light goes off and on when it gurus. It should go on and dim 50%, like in the real Amiga.

I'm all in for DISK DRIVE SOUND EMULATION This is most handy man, I recognize if a game works fine or not by the sound of teh drive. This is particularly true in C64 games

The ST emulator SainT already has this feature and let me tell you, it doesn't half get annoying after a while. If that is added they better put in a bloody on/off switch for it

[Fred the Fop]

You too, Ian?
Saint is a superb Atari St emulator, buggy ad not polished, sorta beta-ish, but it has nice gui, ease of use and compatability. Winston is still my fave PC emu, while Nostalgia is the best Mac emu, or any emu..very well done indeed!

Back on track. Life has been getting back on track here in New York City, actually..but.....*sighh*
Anyway, I have had my WinUAE wish list very much whittled down (I never wanted much tho..) to better OCS and more compatabilty. The compatability of 8.17 r1 is better than the 8.14's or the horrible 8.16's, which were all betas IMO, what with the damned JIT thing
but most of all, the saved state is HERE!!!!! Yes!!
Saving in the middle of a race, or a tough spot in Gods, in the middle of half time in Kickoff AGA..all that..cool work, WinUAE team!

[Ian]

Where's the problem discussion in this thread??

I suggest this thread be moved to a new home in General Discusion or Amiga Scene.

But I'm not elite like the rest of you so why should you listen to me ....... bastards

The thread was started because of a problem with WinUAE (ie. The lack of a HD light), hence why I started it in Problems->Emulators....Since there's a problem with WinUAE

[Ian]

Well I'm sorry I just don't see that as a problem

But I see your point of view, even though it is wrong

Sing along now:

AmigaBoy: You say Tom ato (Pronounced Eight O)
Ian: and I say Tom ato (Pronounced R Toe)
AmigaBoy: You say Problem
Ian: and I say Suggestion

[Fred the Fop]

I say Amigaboy and Ian are both sluts
Gee...I'm getting back to my normal abnormal self sorta....

I deleted the damn thing as it kept crashing back to desktop closing winuae everytime I boot an adf up. I tried all kickstart roms. Also it is slow and the sound is choppy. I saw posts on the uae board even a 1Ghz cpu has problems.

[Toni Wilen]

I am not sure if this is the cause of your problems but R1 has stupid bug causing crashes if resolution is too small. Use only 800x600 or higher. Fixed version will be available very soon.

now freeze my entire computer

Applications can't freeze whole Windows except if there are broken driver (usually display or sound driver) or broken Windows, like all w9x-based

[Paul]

I will give that a try. 800x600 instead of 640x480

Info from main site.

KNOWN BUGS:
- Snapshot (save-state) support is not 100% yet.
- Centering modes will crash this release of WinUAE, if the window-size is
less than 800x600.
- Using more than 512-Megs of ZorroIII FastMem will fail.
- Does not work (currently) on Win95. Will be fixed in Release 2.

[Fred the Fop]

Yeah, that was the cause of the crashing, Toni . Good snooping

CD32 support - would make a lot of people happy

I have been planning to add some CD32 support (like CD32 pad and Akiko) but I really need CD32 Kickstart and extended ROM (both are 512KB in size)

It seems only CD32 Kickstart have Akiko support build-in. Does anyone have CD32 with ability to dump ROMs? (I hope requesting CD32 ROMs is ok because you can't buy them like "normal" kickstarts) Of course, I don't mind if someone donates me real CD32

Also programming specs for CD32s hardware NVRAM would be nice to have. (Of course you can disassemble ROMs for this information but it is very time consuming)

Full CD support is probably the most difficult thing to emulate.

Toni: You could try http://pub48.ezboard.com/bamigacd32

That's the CD32 ISO Board.

I also made a request for the CD32 Kickstart ROM not too long ago, but I got no replies....shame since I don't have an SX-32 on my CD32

But.....I do know that the admin of that board (cd32iso is his nick ) has the ability to dump the rom so I suggest you get in contact with him. He'll probably help out since lately he's been talking about the development of WinUAE CD32 by Airsoft. Just tell him you're a WinUAE developer who's hoping to add CD32 support. I'm assuming he'd help out.....assuming

[XoreX]

Excelent! Soon cd32 in winuae!
I wish you luck!
